Slumbering on Wind

There's something about a lawyc,
that gives him away all the time. You
can't mistake lawyer even for book
agent. The ingenious and unsophisti.
Gated cowboy knows him. and the
hardy miner. who may have spent his
life under ground. will recognize him
even in the dark of the lower levels.
A well-known leg of the law, l mean
limb of the law-the policemen are the
arms and the lawyers the legs of the
law-went up into Modoc County. He
had with him a patent india-rubber
bed, which he filled full of air when he
wanted to and made it comfortable to
lie on. This was an entirely new
tangled thing to the cowboys, and
they inspected it with great curiosity.
The lawyer explained the whole proc
ess to them. how he inflated it, and
all about it One of the cowboys
listened thoughtfully. and then he
said: well. it does seem kind o nat
ural for lawyer to sleep on wind. y

FOOD FOR CHILDREN.
Tho Necessity of Boiling MILK, Before II
Is Given As NOurishment.

The Necessity of Boiling Milk, Before IL
Is Given as Nourishment.
While milk is kept on ice, in the
frigerator. it is continually receiving
the germs, becoming more and more
infected with the Germs of decomposi-
ton. The practical lesson from all
this is the necessity of boiling milk or
other articles Of food for children,
shortly before 1t is given as nourish-
ment This can not be too strongly
impressed upon the minds of all con-
cerned in the welfare of children. and
the younger the child the greater the
importance of observing this rule.
In the earliest months of life feed.
ing-bottlc of some sort is necessity.
but it should be discarded rs soon us
possible. A child may be taught to
drink from glass OF cup at quito an
early age. and the earlier the better.
The construction of the nursing-bottle
is such that great care constantly OBJ
served, will at once in sure safety, The
simpler the form of the bottle the
easier it will be to keep it
clean. Two Of them should be in
use, one IN strong solution of
bicarbonatc of Soda after thorough
scalding. while the other contains the
food for immediate feeding. Carelessness
in the management of the feedin g bot
tie is the cause of deaf', in numberless
ms: ances every sumner. The presence
of decompos;ng food in the digestive
tract of the child gets as powerful
irritant. probably by reason of poisons
developed from undigested articles of
food by the process of putrefac,ion.
Pure sugar, than which nothing can
be less harmful. when decomposcd by
the growth of the yeas:-plant. produces
alcohol and carbonic acid gas. both
powerful poisons to the higher grades
of life. and in considerable quantity
destructive to the very agents (the
plants) which produced them. In the
same way all food stuffs. when de-
composed. produced deadly poisons.
Some of them act something like
croton oil and the other irritant vege-
table .poisons and cause profuse
watery excavations from the bowels

AN OCEAN TRAGEDY.



Hsv Capitals La.g.ford was Killed - .
Monster 0woeA.E1sh.
A bulletin Of the United States Fish
Commission just issued gives the fol-
lowing account as described in Q Lot.
ter to Prof Baird. of the killing of .
man by sworyl-fish.
.'Thc schooner VEINS is small YES
sci of abont twelve tons. owned and
commanded by Franklin D. Langsford.
of GAINESVILLE. Mass. with o crew OF
three men. engaged in the general fish
cries off the coast Of Massachusetts,. On
Monday morning. August 9. Captain
Langsford sailed from home in pursuit
of sword-fsh. About eleven O clock in
the morning. when eight miles north
east from Halibut Point, in Ipswich
Bay. fish was seen. The captain. with
one man, taking dory. gave chase.
and soon harpoOned the fish.
throwing over buoy with =
line attached to the harpoon. after
which the fish was left and they re-
turned to tho vessel for dinner. About
an hour later the captain, with one
man, again took his .dOry and went
out to secure the fish. Picking up the
buoy. Captain Langsford took hold of
the line, pulling his boat toward the
sword-tish. which was quite large and
not badly wounded. The line was
taut as the boat slowly neared the
fish. which the captain intended to
lance and thus kill it. When near the
fish. but too far away to reach it with
the lance. it quickly turned and rushed
at and under the boat, thrust;ng its
sword up through the bottom of the
boat twenty-three inches. As the fish
turned and rushed toward the boat
the line was suddenly Stacked. caus-
ing the captain to fall over on his
back; and wEile he was in the act Of
rising the sword came piercing
through the boat AMI into his body.
At this time another swordiish was in
sight near by. and the
captain excited and anxious to
secure both, raised himself up,
not knowing that he was wounded.
Seeing the sword. he seized it, exclaim-
ing. We've got him, any way: He
lay in the bottom of the dorv, holding
fast TO the sword until tn. vessel came
alongside. while the fish. being under
the boat, could not be reached. Soon
the captain said: I think I am hurt.
and quite badly When the vessel ar
rived he went on board, took few
steps. ard fell. never rising az Yin.
The boat and fish were soon hoissed
on board. when the sword was
chopped off to free the boat. and the
fish was killed on the deck of the ves-
sci. The fish weighed 245 pounds af:cr
its head and tail were cut off and tho
visccra removed; when alive it weighed
something over 300 pounds. Captain
Lansford survived the injury about
three days. dying ON Thursday, August
II of peritonitis. The sword has been
in the United States National
Museum. y Washington Star,
